YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Olá meus queridos amigos e família!,

Como vai? Tudo bem?

Whats up y'all? How are you all doing? I am doing pretty good! We had a chill week this week. My comp. had an ingrown townail that he had to get operated on so he went to the hospital and then stayed at the mission home.. meanwhile I went on a split with another Elder. He worked the heck out of me! haha But on that split we were able to mark a lady for baptism and after we did the elder was like how did we do that!? we have been trying to mark her forever! I was feeling the spirit strong!

After that day, we went back to our apartment and just basically hung out while my comp rested his foot. He can barely walk! So I just wrote letters and layed down lol Im ready to get back out and work!

The weather here is still beautiful! Its such a nice area. We have a couple of people we are starting to teach and hopefully they begin progressing this week!! Im excited to see the fruites of our labors!

On the way back home from the mission home, the AP's gave us a ride in their car. It was their p-day (they have pday on fridays) and they were like..., "You know president Tavares was allowed to listen to regular music on his pdays on his mission just to pump the elders up for the rest of the week?.. i was like oh really? hes lucky! well they were like hes allowing us to do the same! as long as it doesnt have a bad message or bad words we can listen to any songs on pday." So they turned on taylor swift and they were all amazed at the song shake it off because they had never heard it before the mish haha Im super stoked at this new rule though! And nobody knows yet but us and the AP,s...

Today was a fun pday. We went to the mall and its just like the mall in the US. Its super huge!!!! And it has alot of the same stores. I was missing good old cali! We also got to eat mcdonalds and it tasted exactly the same as the States!!! bomb.com

We walked out on the beach today to take some cool pics with our nametags. Its so nice out there!!!

Well thats about all we did this week. Hopefully this week picks up and gets busy. 

Always remember who you are and try your best in no matter what you do. I love and miss you all. Have a great week!!! 

Fica fixe meus amigos e sempre seja melhor cada dia!!!
